F.3: Other common problems

Here is a list of problems which do not fit into the
above categories. They are in no particular order.

If you are running CVS 1.9.18 or older, and
cvs update finds a conflict and tries to
merge, as described in Conflicts example, but
doesn't tell you there were conflicts, then you may
have an old version of RCS. The easiest solution
probably is to upgrade to a current version of
CVS, which does not rely on external RCS
programs.
